I tried and nothing changed because the lowlevel config option isn't the
problem. What about I drop this and replace 4/10 from this series with
the patch below? After enabling all tracing I don't see any events in
events/i915.

Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Disable tracing points on PREEMPT_RT

Luca Abeni reported this:
| BUG: scheduling while atomic: kworker/u8:2/15203/0x00000003
| CPU: 1 PID: 15203 Comm: kworker/u8:2 Not tainted 4.19.1-rt3 #10
| Call Trace:
|  rt_spin_lock+0x3f/0x50
|  gen6_read32+0x45/0x1d0 [i915]
|  g4x_get_vblank_counter+0x36/0x40 [i915]
|  trace_event_raw_event_i915_pipe_update_start+0x7d/0xf0 [i915]

The tracing events use trace_i915_pipe_update_start() among other events
use functions acquire spinlock_t locks which are transformed into
sleeping locks on PREEMPT_RT. A few trace points use
intel_get_crtc_scanline(), others use ->get_vblank_counter() wich also
might acquire a sleeping locks on PREEMPT_RT.
At the time the arguments are evaluated within trace point, preemption
is disabled and so the locks must not be acquired on PREEMPT_RT.

Based on this I don't see any other way than disable trace points on
PREMPT_RT.
